I actually slept with the laptop next to me overnight so I could check DX Maps for any increase in the MUF. Once I saw a path open up to the east I was out of bed in a flash!
Summarising, the day was split into four Es openings:
The OIRT band bad Belarus, Ukraine and Russia around 0800. Those were the strongest Es of the day. There was some activity on band 2 but it was shortlived and very weak.
A second and unexpected opening (DX Maps didn't suggest any obvious activity at the time) occirred around local midday to Spain, Morocco and Portugal.
The third opening was a very weak opening to Finland. All stations had to be identified by web streams.
Finally, the band struggled to open again during the early evening to Algeria and Spain.
Good DX!
